Beechwood1928's Profile

I think you've pretty much defined the room as vintage already with the tile, sink, faucet, etc. That shower curtain is killer.

Everyone is pretty much in agreement with painting the pine white. It will tone down the country/farm vibe.

Vintage bathroom colors to me are the 4x4 square ceramic tiles that were installed in from the 1920's on--the bright yellows, muted pastels (pink, light blue, mint, peach,) and dark reds. With only black and white so far, you can pretty much pick anything though.

We have flat black walls but a light or Tiffany blue was our second choice--I think the dark black, bright white, light blue combo is a timeless, classy mix.

Thanks for all the comments. The sink was purchased online from Signature Hardware in Kentucky and I think the model is the Galen Round. They have a good selection of odd shaped and small sinks.

The toilet and old basin did function but were in terrible shape and would have needed to be refinished if kept. The toilet used a frivolous amount of water and the basin had separate hot and cold faucets--lots of character, hopeless function. After using it for a few months and splashing hot and cold water from left hand to right hand we abandoned that design for something more usable. The toilet (Kohler Rialto) is the shortest one that we could find in the US and basically the only one that would fit without the door hitting it.

The kitchen isn't up on AT but it can be checked out on our blog:

Thanks again everyone.
